shayne ward and live don't go together anymore, it's not like he got his record deal by singing live every week for about 12weeks either...

Everyone and his dog reckon they're going into films! The only reality/talent show star who has done well in a film is Will!

Well I'll say one thing Louis definitely has a vivid imagination. :lol:

 

Shayne Ward nearly drowns midget

Shayne Ward's video shoot for new single 'If It's OK With You' almost ended in disaster, with the X Factor star nearly drowning a midget in a swimming pool, say reports.

 

The singer was supposed to throw a Mexican midget wrestler into the pool, but accidentally picked up the wrong person, unaware the one he had chosen had his mouth covered by a full-face mask and could barely breathe in the water.

 

After spotting the man struggling, Ward took it upon himself to rectify the mistake and hurled himself into the pool to save his video co-star.

 

An insider from the set of the video said: "Shayne was obviously really embarrassed by what happened - luckily his 'victim' thought it was hilarious, and they all ended up having a right laugh about it."

 

He's been caught up in gang warfare in one video shoot, fallen through a trapdoor on tour & now he's drowning midgets. :lol: Whatever next & how much longer will we have to wait for the Calvin Klein advert. :lol:

 

 

Sound's like a rip-off of Jamelia's Cutie. Here's what Popjustice have to say about it:

 

The new Shayne Ward single: is it quite good or quite sh!t?

http://www.popjustice.com/images/stories/s/shaynewardnew.jpg

We reckon: quite good. It makes us think of Darren Hayes doing 'Pon De Replay'. On what planet in the known universe or beyond could that possibly be considered a bad thing? We will tell you which planet: Planet Edith Bowman. And nobody would want to live there.

 

Things we like about the song:

 

» "I'm gonna make you feel like you are Heaven on Earth, I'm gonna thank your mother just for giving you birth." In your face, 'Gallows'.

 

» The line "I'll find some cold food". Everyone likes a buffet. IF this line turns out not to be about cold food and IF it's just "if that's okay with you" in a stupid voice and IF there is no buffet theme at all to this song we will be slightly disappointed because buffets have for too long been absent from Top 40 pop lyricism.

 

» "I'm gonna wanna hold you in my arms when you cry, if that's okay with you." Possibly the behaviour of a man terrified of being accused of rape but, we like to think, simply the attitude of a very polite young man. Why aren't there any polite young men around any more? The ones who are polite are all gay. And even they're a bunch of c**ts.

 

A few weeks ago we had an enjoyable cup of tea with Shayne at The Big BMG Building Of Doom and he played us some of his other new bits and bobs. One of the songs is REALLY REALLY PROPERLY AMAZING. One of them was a ballad but not a ballady sort of ballad. The other sort. He was also very excited about his new wardrobe, although from the looks of things (see 'I'll beat you up but apologise afterwards' shot, above) the stylist spunked everything away on Shayne's bottom half.

 

The single was invented by Max Martin, by the way. Well done Max."

 

:o Well if PJ like it...

Everyone and his dog reckon they're going into films! The only reality/talent show star who has done well in a film is Will!

 

Erm, aren't you forgetting a certain someone who starred in Dreamgirls? ;)

 

Who knows what kind of talents Shayne has, though. For all we know, he might have some acting talent.

 

 

You have to hand it to that little pixie Louis Walsh, he sure know how to stage a return to the charts for his artist :lol:

 

A song that everyone's talking about (if maybe for the wrong reasons ;) ) talks of a Hollywood film and then throwing the wrong midget into a pool and rescuing him single handed. We've got another 5 weeks of Louis style promo to look forward to, I wonder what we'll get next. Not the plane crash though Louis, you alredy used that one for Westlife :lol:

I think that was Boyzone Marguerite but I'm sure he's had some pearlers for Westlife. :lol: No wonder no one takes Louis or his puppets seriously. ;)

EXCLUSIVE: First Listen: Shayne Ward's new album

Thursday, July 12 2007, 15:54 BST

 

By Nick Levine, Entertainment Reporter

 

DS presents an exclusive preview of the new Shayne Ward album, which is so hot off the press that it doesn’t even have a name yet. You want the good news? Well, someone – a shaven-headed someone who may or may not have won The X Factor a couple of years ago – has obviously been listening to a lot of Justin Timberlake and Rihanna recently. This person might just have been practising his dance moves too. What’s more, we’d hazard a guess that he’s been indulging in a fair bit of jigginess of late. But there’s some bad news too: the album’s not out for another six weeks. And there's nothing about nearly-drowned midgets on it. Sob!

 

‘If That’s OK With You’

 

The album’s first single is co-written by Max ‘Since U Been Gone’ Martin, but there’s not a scorching guitar riff in sight. Its shuffling, calypso-style rhythm track and effortless melody make it the perfect soundtrack to the last days of summer. Good job that it’s out at the end of August, eh? The track’s love-it-or-hate feature is the vocoder effect on the last line of the chorus, which makes Shayne sound a bit like Stephen Hawking’s teenage daughter.

 

'Track 2'

 

The album’s big ballad! The spare production – featuring occasional electro blips and some understated strings – houses a killer vocal from Shayne. In fact, he hits a note at the end that’ll have a certain Mr. Timberlake quivering in his converse. But what should we make of this lyrical nugget: “If we had babies, they’d have your eyes. I’d fall deeper watching you give life.” Is Shayne suggesting that the sight of a baby’s head squeezing out of his girlfriend’s unmentionables is enough to make him fall head over heels? Eek.

 

'Track 3'

 

Is this electro-R&B club banger an answer song to the Pussycat Dolls’ ‘Don’t Cha?’ Over marching band drum rolls and propulsive synth washes, Shayne coos “you make me wish I didn’t have a girlfriend”. This one’s sweatier than a marathon runner’s sneakers - but in a good way. It makes you imagine Shayne whipping his top off in a packed nightclub which – given the evidence to the left – wouldn’t exactly be unpleasant, would it?

 

'Track 4'

 

This mid-tempo electro-pop smoochathon is about a girl who keeps Shayne “up on the phone all night”. Phwoar! This tune dares Shayne to show off his finest JT-style falsetto, and he doesn’t shirk the challenge. The best song about phone sex ever.

 

 

So, we have Shayne Ward doing 'a Rhianna'

 

Shane Ward doing Justin Timberlake, twice

 

And Shayne Ward's answer to the Pussycat Dolls

 

I wonder if anywhere on that album is the original Shayne Ward? Nah, I doubt it, not when Simon/Louis have done their homework on what's sold the best in the last few months :lol:
